Alisha’s Learning Space ~ Welcome!
LRNT 622: Advanced Research
As we set out on this final course prior to the Applied Research Project, it feels like the end is in sight. At the top of Jocelyn Hill in Gowland Todd Park, Victoria, BC, this Gary Oak stands resiliently. The meadows are full of amazing things to explore, and I anticipate this course will be as well!

LRNT 526: Inquiry into Contemporary Issues in Learning Technologies
Spring storms bring an ever-changing tropo-scape, and one fine day we sat and watched, waiting to see if storms would develop over the lake. A joy and a challenge in the field of e-learning is the constant change, and yes, sometimes issues.

LRNT 525: Leading Change
We encountered these cute creatures called coatimundis while visiting Costa Rica – photo credits David Hadley, 2021. Sometimes compared to raccoons, these lively creatures are known to get into mischief, particularly if they have sampled refined human food when tourists and locals, perhaps unthinkingly, feed them treats. There is a powerful movement towards preservation of Costa Rica’s incredible natural beauty, including flora and fauna, but perhaps leading change sometimes feels like herding cats, nailing Jello to a tree, or herding coatis!

LRNT 524: Innovative Design
Innovation, Design, and Learning Environments sounds like an open playing field to explore opportunities. The innovative design of this staircase reflects a beautiful solution to some challenging terrain.

LRNT 522: Time to explore
Introduction to Research: Critical Reading and Writing seems like a boundless opportunity to explore, so the adventure continues. Waterfalls make me think of all the different paths and routes that we can travel, channels that the water flows through, despite and because of obstacles and terrain.
LRNT 523: Firm Foundation
Foundations of Learning and Technology: A firm foundation is a necessity, but as this picture demonstrates, rock formations such as this one found in Dionisio Point Provincial Park on Galiano Island can be incredibly unique, multi-faceted, and beautiful. I am excited to examine the foundations of my knowledge and practice through this next stage of my adventure!

LRNT 521: The Adventure Begins!
Day hiking on The Bibbulman Track, WA in March 2020, little did we know that those clouds moving in foreshadowed such a season of global change. Setting out on an adventure in the MALAT program with RRU, I anticipate a life-changing adventure, but not of the same nature! Please click the links below to view my posts for this course.
